My cover artist and I were so happy with the way these new covers came out that we’ve already planned the color scheme for the cover of the third book in the Arachne trilogy. Actually, he said to me, “While we’re hot on this project, let’s just do the third book cover. You’ve got the title, we’ve got the colors, let’s go!”

I said, “There’s just one small problem. Two small problems. I haven’t written the book yet so I don’t have a page count. (You must have an exact page count to the measure the spine in millimeters of an inch.) And I haven’t written the book yet so I don’t have a book description for the back cover.”

He said (and I quote), “So just make something up!”

The final book in what is turning out to be a trilogy is SPYDER. Yes, I have notes and an outline. No, I haven’t started the book yet. I keep saying “yet.” Because I’m working on new stories and books to sell. So we shall see.

The first covers, done by William Morrow Publishing for the hardcovers, were kind of fun but essentially atrocious. I’m not even sure I want to scan them to show you. You can find them on Amazon. Basically, both book covers featured a scantily woman with a bare cleavage grappling with a robot. (My editor at the time was a man.)

Both Arachne and Cyberweb feature a heroine with a brain and a backbone. Both books are a serious analysis of Jungian philosophy of the human mind and the unconscious melded with what is still, to this day, cutting-edge theory of artificial intelligence and virtual reality. There is my trade-marked humor to keep some moments light. And there is bad sex. But still, the books aren’t about cleavage. Maybe the covers were more about New York publishing’s perception of women’s science fiction.

Fans noticed the discrepancy between my serious themes and the raunchy covers. See Goodreads for the various reader reviews.

The new Bast Book covers capture, I think, the brutal urban setting of the books, the soulessness of heroine Carly Quester’s first endeavors there, and her harrowing conflicts with hostile AI entities that ensue. (This is a photo we’ve got of the foot of Market Street in downtown San Francisco.) The matched set, and the third book to come, remind us of the Black Lizard Press reprints of Raymond Chandler’s novels, the same size and also with evocative, nonrepresentational covers.

I prefer book covers that don’t feature an artist’s attempt to depict the characters. Romance books and some fantasy books usually depict human faces on the cover. For mainstream books and especially for books that are serious, though, the covers are often nonrepresentational and symbolic. Even the covers of the Twilight books, before the movies gave actors’ faces to the characters, were symbolic. And effective.
